My heart belongs to Pan, but if one deity other than Pan got to escort me after death, I would choose Hades. Aside from all the dry mythology on Hades (he is the god of the underworld, he has a three headed dog that guards the gates to the underworld, sometimes he is denoted as the god of the physical gates of the underworld, and a god of initiation, etc.), their is one undeniable fact: spiritually, this god is HOT. When I received the ability of astral projection at the age of thirteen, my deepest desire was to know it all. With all the naive nature that any young girl could posssess, I really thought that I could "know-it-all" in one lifetime. The gods are what proved me wrong. After meeting Zeus and Pan, I realized that I was polythiestic with a basic belief in the concept of the anima and animus. However, the real kicker for me, was sensing the gods through a primal level : physical emotion, what I call "spiritual smell", pulse/harmony and basic telepathy. Like any rebellious and fearless teenager, I went on a mission to meet Hades. I made non-animal sacrifices to him, and asked for direct communications and following omen(s) that would tell me that indeed, it had been Hades himself that visited me. Hades met me in what people call,"my inner temple". I realized, after meeting Zeus, the Greek gods will communicate as they wish, mainly through avatars. I have read several experiences which claim that the gods do this for a variety of reasons. My basic view : on one hand, we all create avatars in some way; nothing is ever what it seems. Everyone and everything has a hidden nature, or aspects that others do not recognize at the first glance. In addition we are always changing - if I become someone different next year, is my previous self not I? However, on the other hand, we are all the sum of our a) persona/ID and B ) what we call Damona in the Thelema path (higher self). Why should we think that the gods are not this way as well? And if they are, then they can change day by day, season by season, year to year? Yet again, on one hand, Hades reminds us that nothing lasts forever, but on the other hand, the appearence of this may be nothing but a facade. When I first met Hades/his avatar, he came to me as a very desirable image of a man - in a suit and tie. With his hair slicked back in perfection, he was nothing like the boring Greek alabaster statues of Hades. Infact, he looked a lot like Balthazar, played by Gavin Rossdale in the movie Constantine. Gorgeous, classy and HOT. Period. This is how I identified him when I was thirteen (long before I knew of Gavin Rossdale), seeing him and sensing him to be this way. He was not frightening, entirely the opposite. Very alluring. I would have followed him around for centuries, if I had the time. Hades also had a prestige and a "unemotional hotness" about him. In otherwords, he could say nothing, project nothing, be nothing, and still be HOT. My omen, as a small child, was a dead crow. As an adult, I recently performed a Wiccan/Greco-Roman like ritual to Hades, with a door/portal to the South ( facing the mountains), three fire guardians of the gates (symbolic), dedications, offerings, and thirteen people who wanted to communicate with the dead on a full moon. Many of them said that they did not sense the presence of a requested dead (normally dead loved ones), but some other entity. In addition, most if not all of those people said that they felt a warm feeling (this ritual was outside, and it was cold that day). Infact, a few people said that they felt warmth wrapped around them. This seemed to reinforce the genuine experience that I had as a small child, to me. Hades is not a god whom invokes fear, if you are on his "good side". He is a god that brings light and warmth in what others may consider a dark and cold disposition. However, like all the Greek gods, it is good to praise him with offerings/sacrifices/pilgrimages.
